Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I don’t know why people don’t want to work in the office. I spent a week working from home and it felt like a prison.
That's a you problem. Your life sucks and your home sucks. Do something about it.
I feel office is the prison, complete with other inmates and a warden.
Its the single worst place to be for work.
Different people are different.
It's nice to go to the office from time to see the colleagues, but it's horrible for efficiency. And, truth be told, I'd be a lot less happy when asked to drop by if I wasn't reimbursed the travel expenses, paid for the travel time, and per diem for the trip. Office is a couple of hours away.
My company is a horrible work environment. Anytime I go in person, I work half as fast and get tired faster.
Noise, distractions, bad ergonomics, meh hardware...
It's expensive, uncomfortable and only occasionally helpful. To each his own, I guess.
I love hybrid work. A little bit of in person comminucation and small talk to make sure everyone remembers the other people are human beings and the work at home days to actually get the work done.
